So you're saying he's not a good guy, he's not a bad guy, he's *the* guy?

I think the comments saying he’s a heel now are more in hope and what we assume is the logic story than based on any solid evidence sadly. Nothing in terms of what he did last night indicated that but I do remain hopeful that’s what the plan is because if not then it’s just gonna keep the boos coming and disrupting any stories they try to tell
As for the win, I’d really rather they hadn’t but eh what can you do

Ethan Page should be the one to dethrone Cody. He'd be a really excellent choice, honestly.
If it leads to Men of the Year breaking up yes, they could have Ethan turn on Scorpio and "thanking him" for being his stepping stone.

I'm at the point of Cody booking fatigue. I can no longer muster the energy to actively hate his character anymore I merely want him to go away. He and Brandi have X-Pac Heat with me. I posted this in the Sammy thread but I feel it is worth repeating here - I'm sad for Sammy. His TNT championship reign was the drizzling shits, poor dude. I cannot help but wonder if his losing the belt and the overall lackluster booking overall of his title reign, was influenced by the rumored backstage situation between him and Conti rather than anything to do with Cody? Maybe he was punished?

I used to dislike Brandi a lot but recently after checking her AEW Dark matches, I want to give her a chance because it looks like QT Marshall has been helping her training

My mistake was watching Rhodes to Top everyone on that show comes across as very unlikeable it is Higan Knows Best all over again, IMHO. Before I watched RTT I actually kind of liked Brandi now I'm meh on her at best.

Whatever it is, can we just get to it?
They’ve been teasing this since the Brodie feud. Let’s go, already.

Maybe he was punished? I doubt it. It would just seem like the kind of move AEW would go out of their way not to make, simply because it sounds like such a WWE thing to do.

It feels good for finally being vindicated for saying Cody sucks well before AEW started, but I would gladly trade that feeling away for just less Cody on AEW.

Whatever happens, I just kind of want the conversation around Cody to get a whole lot less tedious. "Cody's presentation can be a bit much" and "Some people are really creepy in their hatred for him" are both true, but it just feels like currently, we're in a place where both have been driven into the ground. Just kind of hoping for something new to talk about re: Cody. I think sometimes a wrestlers gets on peoples nerves so much they just need a place to vent about it. I think it's fine as long as nobody is flaming etc. :shrug:

Cody just brings apathy to me. I'm just so indifferent to the guy now.

Yeah, I definitely think the proper answer to, "Is Cody a face or a heel?" is, "He's boring."

I'm more talking about how creepy some others have been with it, like people shouting abuse at him that definitely transcends booing, etc. Like, let me put it this way: it's difficult to talk about the kind of criticism Brandi Rhodes gets that is in good faith without also acknowledging that there are plenty of people who direct really misogynistic and racist abuse at her, that even if it's far from all of her detractors, that is is a sizeable, noticeable section of them.

Just watched a highlight video of the Deadlock podcast, they basically compared him to Squidward, as no matter what he does, he just gets instantly booed.

Schrodinger's Cody: he is both a face and a heel. Well when he challenged Sammy, he kinda heeled it up in the interview and when walking away he teased going into the heel tunnel before turning around and go back through the face one. AEW/Cody know what they are doing, teasing a heel Cody, at least to me
